Gen Z Tech & CS Grads in Canada - Side Hustles After Hiring Slowdown

Are you a recent grad/young person who started a side hustle because of the tightening job market? I'm a journalist working on a story for The Globe and Mail about young Canadians who have started a side hustle because they couldn't find work in their field -- whether that's because of AI absorbing certain entry roles or the tariffs from across the border. I'm especially interested in hearing from Gen Zs who studied software engineering, tech, computer science, marketing, etc., or other recent graduates who turned to tangible gigs like pet sitting, tutoring, food delivery, photography, etc., to facilitate income. What's your experience been like? I'd love to hear from you.
